Hi,

I am installing Snow Leopard 10.6.3 onto my Acer One 751h netbook. I have been following this guide. What I have had to do differently though is use the NBI 0.84 RC1 to get into the installer as otherwise by simply using the bootloader that got installed on there already by the netbookinstaller app, it gave me a kernal panic as soon as I tried booting it. The next thing I had to do was get the JMicron36xATA.kext and inject it into the extensions.mkext on the Install DVD (on usb stick), by following this guide. This was so that it could see my IDE internal HDD.

It installed no problem, it even came up with that the installation was successful rather than what a lot have often had "installation failed" (although it has installed), but when I start it up (obviously going through the NBI on the USB, when I click enter normally it will come up with the apple logo and the loading wheel, and then a symbol will appear on the logo (image below)

but I have this (quoted below) appear which obviously is showing that it didn't do anything.

usage: cp [-R [-H |-L | -P]] [-apvX] source_file target_file

cp [-R [-H |-L | -P]] [-apvX] source_file ... target_directory

I am enjoying myself doing this, and thats mainly what I use my netbook for, to mess around with it lol and I am pleased that I have managed to get really far without asking for help, but I do need a bit of help now lol

Thanks for the help and if you need to specs of my netbook, they are here.... The only thing that is different is that I have 2GB ram in instead of the 1gb that came with it previously.

Do I need to reinstall the already installed installation then? As I watched a video on youtube about adding stuff via the single user mode rather than installing as he said that it is reasonably simple and it saves a lot of time rather than reinstalling.

Ok I have managed to put the kernel in and it certainly works as I tried booting without the USB and it doesn't give a kernel panic, but then I still have the no symbol show up on the logo so I do the verbose mode again, and it still seems to be getting stuck in the same place:

Right I figured out why it was not doing it.

What I was doing by wrongly was writing "/Mac OS X Install DVD/" and "/Mactintosh HD/" not like this "/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ DVD/" and "/Macintosh\ HD/". Putting the "\" before the space makes tells the terminal there is a space there, so if you o not do that, then it will be wrong.

How do I get to the system /library/extensions folder then? As I've noticed that with lion +, you can access it, but then with snow leopard, going into Linux, which would show the whole HDD, there does not show a extensions folder in the system/library folder of the installation. I can see the folder on the install DVD, but I can't on the installation, but I do see a extensions.mkext. I tried unpacking that and putting kexts in how I done it with the install DVD extensions.mkext, but it couldn't pack it back up, came up with an error. Can't remember what, but do I need to remove them from the kexts for the graphics from the extensions.mkext?

Well I'm gonna let it reinstall yet again, as I certainly am not finding anywhere mentioning about there being no extensions folder in the system/library, and hopefully then ill be able to do just that what you told me to do.

I got the kernel now so I doubt ill need to do anything as regards to that, but anyway, will see what happens lol

Well I've reinstalled, and I realised now that what I done before in the terminal on the install DVD, that mucked it up, so I've got the extensions folder now like should do.

I've got the kernel on so that that works, (took a long time to get the permissions corrected in Linux so could put in the kernel), and I deleted the intelgma950.kext, and I got this come up when I tried booting againSorry, here's the picimage.jpg168.49KB0 downloads
